| Plot Summary |
The film follows the fall of Satan from the kingdom of Heaven and his subsequent journey through Pandemonium, Purgatory and Chaos on his way to corrupt the virgin Earth. Trunk Animation directors Alasdair Brotherston and Jock Mooney, alongside producer Richard Barnett, assembled a team of twelve animators, artists and compositors, who worked continuously over three months, taking their main inspiration from the first three books of John Milton's 'Paradise Lost', while also drawing on details from across all twelve volumes. The hand-drawn animation depicts various facets from the poem, from which 'Rattle That Lock' lyricist Polly Samson drew her inspiration. The poem itself encompasses twelve books, concerning the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
